Keywords: healthy, vegetarian, vegan, fruit, quick, no cooking, sweet

Serves: 2

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours or overnight

Equipment: plate or baking pan, knife, measuring spoons, blender

Ingredients:

Directions:

Slice bananas into ¼ inch coins.
Line a plate or a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and distribute the banana slices, making sure none are overlapping.
Leave to freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Place frozen banana slices and 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk into a high-speed food processor or blender.
Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes stopping to scrape the sides every so often.
If your blender is having a hard time blending the bananas, add more almond milk by the tablespoon.
Once fully blended, the mixture should have the texture of a super thick smoothie or soft serve.
Transfer to a bowl or cup.
Eat as is or mix in any additional toppings.

Variations:

Try adding different flavors like cinnamon, pumpkin spice, matcha powder, cocoa powder, or peanut butter powder.
Optional toppings: sliced almonds, dark chocolate chips, and diced strawberries.
The almond milk can be switched out for other milks like cashew milk, oat milk, soy milk, or nonfat milk.

Notes:

Make sure the bananas are very ripe because the riper they are the sweeter the taste.

Nutrition Notes:

This creamy, icy treat has plenty of potassium and fiber from the bananas and calcium and Vitamin D from the almond milk (make sure it’s fortified)!

Savings Tip:

You can buy a bushel of bananas when they are on sale and cut them into coins to keep in the freezer.
